Gallery Events & Workshops

Bringing creativity to life through inspiring exhibitions, hands-on workshops, artist talks, community celebrations, and unforgettable cultural experiences for all ages.

Marion Cultural Alliance invites you to be part of something lasting.

Join us on May 30th at The Brick from 11am – 3pm for CELEBRATION Community Paint Day—a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience where YOU help create a permanent public work of art.

This vibrant, large-scale horse sculpture, designed by Maggie Weakley, will come to life through the hands of our community—families, artists, visitors, and supporters—each adding their own brushstroke to a shared vision.

More than just a painting event, CELEBRATION reflects the heart of Marion County—its creativity, diversity, and deep connection to both the arts and equestrian culture. Once complete, the sculpture will remain on display as a lasting landmark and symbol of what we can build together.

✨ Be Part of the Legacy – Each brushstroke becomes part of a permanent public sculpture at The Brick—your participation helps support and sustain the arts in our community.

🎨 How It Works:

Take part in our interactive paint-by-numbers experience, designed for all ages and skill levels. You’ll be guided to paint designated sections of the sculpture—no experience needed, just creativity and community spirit!
